DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.

Morse's treatise on the law relating to
banks and banking says on this subject
that the provisions of the act concerning
the distribution of the assets Of an in
solvent bank clearly manifesto design on
the part of Congress, first, to secure the
Government for the payment Of the cir
culatiDg notes Of the bank, not only by
requiring in advance of the issue of such
notes deposit of the bonds ofthe United
States, but further by giving to the Gov
ernment first lien for any deficiency that
may arise on all the assets subsequently
acquired by the insOlvent bank; and,
second, to secnre the residue of the assets
of the bank for ratable distribution among
its general creditors.
This lien of the Government continues
to exist until the United States has been
fully reimbursed for all sums paid out by
it for the redemption of the notes of the
bank, and it cannot be defeated by any
proceedings In the nature of an attachment
on the part Of any other creditor. Neither
can any such attachment operate to give
the attaching creditor any preference oveE

DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AVERTED.
Evident Intention to Wreck the Presidential
Train.
THE PROCEEDINGS In MEMPHIS.
Deaths Gall Mars the Otherwise Happy
Occasion.
THE DEPARTURE FROM THE CITY.
Enthusiastic Greetings From the People
Along the Route.

MEMPHIS, TENN, October 15.-The
Presidents life is in peril.
A supposed attempt to wreck the train
carrying the chief magistrate of the ma
ton.
When the pilot train preceding the
Presidential train arrived at trestle be-
tween Bonneville and Jonesboro, Ark,
yesterday morning the engineer discover
ed the trestle to be on fire.
He did not make the discovery until it
was too late to stop the train before the
engine had passed over the burning por-
ton.
As soon as possible he backed the train
off the trestle and jumped down to ex-
anime the fire. He found that section
about fifteen feet square was i'll flames,
and that the fire had been started on the
other side of the timbers.
The engineer and all the rest of the train
men, with the help Of some Of the passen-
gers, succeeded in putting out the tre,
when it was discovered that the flames had
had not eaten dangerously far into the
wood, aud the trestle was still safe for the
passage of trains Had the train been ten
minutes later, however, there might have
been another Chatsworth horror to chroni-
Gle.
TRAINMEN SAY IT WAS INTENTIONAL.
A careful examination Of the burned
timbers gave unmistakable evidence OF an
attempt at train wreCking. The fire was
started in the under side OF the cross ties
in such a manner that there can be no pos
sible belief that sparks were the cause oft.
Then, too, the fire was certainly set TO
more than one tie at time, for it could not
have jumped nom one to another without
burning the sides of the timber more than
it did. The conclusion is almost irresisti-
BILE that somebody had applied torch to
at least eight or nine of the timbers.
There are many good reasons for believ-
ing that the fends who set tire 10 this
trestle had in mind the Presidents special
train, which was 10 be the next one over
the road after the train which discovered
the ire Every traiuman whose opinion
was asked in the matter said freely that he
had no doubt the intention was to wreck
the Presidential train.
The trestle is thirty feet long, and the
dry stream bed under il is twelve or fifteen
feet below the track. Ii Is at the end OF
sharp curve and in a dense forest, far from
any habitatiOn. At both Bonneville and
JonesborO, as we'll a. at most Of the other
stations along the road, there was gen
cral misunderstanding as TO when the
Presidents train would arrive. Every
body st these stations expected the Presi-
dent to come through on this regular train,
and at nearly every station passed by this
regular train during the night large num-
bers of people were assembled to see the

Stain Contradicts Himsslf.

LEWISTON, Me, October 15.-The Jour
nal has obtained copy of the confession
OF Charles Stain as made to Sheriff Mitch
ell, and it differs materially from the one
already published; instead of claiming to
have been with his father and the gang
when Cashier Barron was murdered, the
younger Stain says he obtained his in
formation, in regard to the crime, from his
father three years after the murder, and
while the father was IN state of delirium.
After the delirium had passed, the elder
Stain, believing himself to be dying, told
his son to get Bible, which, having been
obtained, the father took it in his hand
and solemnly revealed the story Of the
crime. Afterward the old man put re-
volver to the sons head and made him
promise never to reveal the facts.

Poor FEELING and Weak Batting by the As

NEW. YORK, October 15.-The score IN
the series for theworld's championship now
stands: Detroit 4; st. LOUISE.
The game at the Polo grounds to-day was
played under circumstances to impel the
players to do their best work.
The spectators, who came to see good
game of base ball, without frisnd or favor,
numbered 10000. They were not disap-
pointed. They expected to- the st. Louis
men make closer fight than they did, but
as they witnessed the splendid fielding ex-
hibition of the Straits City club and
the wonderful pitching of their Getzein,
they could only admit that the victors
were inclncible this day, and st. Louis
must wait till some other day. To Get
zein belongs the principal credit OF the
victory. His delivery was too much for
the ordinarily clever batters in the oppos-
ing team. Foutz was hit frequently and
hard, and while the Detroits earned six OF
their nine runs, the support he received at
certain periods of the game was discour-
aging. Score:

ing is very evident, as Mr.. Powderly might
easily have discredited the rumor by de-
claring that there was no lack OF harmony
in the Board.
Messrs Bailey and Barry, whom it is
alleged have created the discord, are &C.
lively engaged in canvassing their cause,
and would probably, in case the matter
cane to a vote in the assembly, carry at
least hundred delegates with them. The
press committee has put such a seal upon
the proceedings OF the convention that IL is
difficult to ascertain the exact facts until

literally blown to atoms
When the smoke cleared not vestige OF
the mill was found standing, and not q
man was to be sean. A short search. how
ever, revealed the fireman, Chauncey War

New YORK, October 15.-A Baltimore
special to the Times says: Railroad circles
were perturbed yesterday by rumors Of q
coming bomb shell. 1t was impossible to

TO the winged reports the statement that
Robert Garrett is now said to be preparing
viii be the greatest sensation of the year.
1t is all about the sale of the telegraph to
Jay Gould. Mr.. CARROTS opposition to
the sale is well known. 1t is nov reported
that the result was reached by men that
were crooked, to say the least. In other
words, that Mr.. Garrett was not
only dumb sunded when he heard
of the sale, but that his astonishment was
intensified when he heard that certain
cablegrsms OF vital Importance which he
had sent while the deal was pending, did
not reach those tor whom they were in
tended, and that the negotiations were con-
cluded in consequence. The reports also
deal with other matters, such as estrapge-
ment between Mr.. Garrett and some Of
his close friends. No one knew anything
positive about the rumors, but they were
so general that they gained considerable
credence
Vice President Spencer knew nothing Of
them He did state, however, that the
Western Union will take charge of the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph at ~ o'clock
tonight.
